Advanced Average and Analysis

X-PAD Ultimate Survey 1.png

  • The function Advanced Average and Analysis allows to measure a point repeatedly re initializing the fix calculation at each measurement session.

  • It is possible to customize how the sessions are performed and the error tolerance.

  • At the end of the measurements the software shows the residuals and accuracy information.

  • It is possible to export the detail of all measurements done.


  • To start the application open Survey page.

  • Click Advanced Average and Analysis.

  • Enter the session parameters.

    • Antenna height: the height of the GNSS antenna.

    • Time on point (sec): defines the occupation time in seconds of each session.

    • Sessions to execute: defines how many sessions to execute. At the end of each session the receiver re inizialise the fix status.

    • Pause between sessions (sec): defines the pause time in seconds after a session is executed and while the receiver is in autonomous status without receiving RTK corrections.

    • Tolerance H: the value of the horizontal tolerance.

    • Tolerance V: the value of the vertical tolerance.

    • Point: the point name.

    • Code: the survey code.

  • Click Start to start the session.

  • The point is measured by the time defined in Time on point (sec) and some information are visualized in real time.

    • Status: shows the number of measure in the current session.

    • E/N/Z: the measured coordinate.

    • Range H: the maximum 2D distance between the measured points in the current session.

    • Range V: the maximum elevation distance between the measured points in the current session.

    • Std.Dev.H: the horizontal standard deviation for the measured points in the current session.

    • Std.Dev.V: the vertical standard deviation for the measured points in the current session.

    • CI H 95%: horizontal 95% confidence level. The value represents a range within which 95% of the measured positions are expected to fall. A larger value indicates lower position quality, while a smaller value means that most points have similar positions.

    • CI V 95%: vertical 95% confidence level. The value represents a range within which 95% of the measured positions are expected to fall. A larger value indicates lower position quality, while a smaller value means that most points have similar elevation.

  • On the right panel the software visualizes the scatter plot of measured points in 2D and the points elevation in a vertical bar.

  • Click Pause to pause the measurements.

  • Click Stop to stop all measurements and close the function.

  • At the end of the last session it is possible to view the data and store the result.

  • The top part of the window shows the sessions performed. Click image-20250915-104338.png or image-20250915-104353.png to disable the use of the measurements of the session in the calculation of the final coordinate regarding the 2D or the vertical component.

  • The bottom part of the window lists the final coordinate and the quality result.

    • E/N/Z: the final coordinate of the point.

    • Range H: the maximum 2D distance between the measured points.

    • Range V: the maximum elevation distance between the measured points.

    • Std.Dev.H: the horizontal standard deviation for the measured points

    • Std.Dev.V: the vertical standard deviation for the measured points.

    • CI H 95%: horizontal 95% confidence level. The value represents a range within which 95% of the measured positions are expected to fall. A larger value indicates lower position quality, while a smaller value means that most points have similar positions.

    • CI V 95%: vertical 95% confidence level. The value represents a range within which 95% of the measured positions are expected to fall. A larger value indicates lower position quality, while a smaller value means that most points have similar elevation.

  • On the right-bottom part of the window the software visualizes the scatter plot of measured points in 2D and the points elevation in a vertical bar.

  • Click Store to record the measured point.
